We're the earliest investors you'll ever meet, and never pass because you're 'too early'. We embrace the pre-seed. We are hot on Voice, Market Networks, Industrial Tech, NewSpace, and anything Frontier -- wonky enough for us to spend the time to learn and ramp up with you. We seek founders with Deep Market Insights - you know the problem cold and the solution is bursting from you.
